Derby County will be looking to end a 30-year hoodoo when they face Aston Villa this weekend.

The Rams travel to Villa Park on Saturday in their penultimate league game of the season.

It is almost 30 years since Derby last won at the ground. That was back in November 1988, when goals from Paul Goddard and Dean Saunders were enough to get the better of Graham Taylor’s side in a 2-1 win for the visitors.

Since then, the Rams have lost 10 league games in a row at Villa Park.

Here's what has happened between Villa and Derby at Villa Park over the past three decades:

Last season saw Derby travel to Villa Park for the first time in a decade due to the home side's relegation from the Premier League the previous season.

The Rams would ultimately leave empty-handed thanks to a first-half header from James Chester, which was the only goal in a 1-0 defeat during Steve McClaren’s second spell at the club.

The two sides met during Derby’s most recent season in the Premier League with the Rams still under the stewardship of Billy Davies.

It was another disappointing journey for Derby as a Villa side featuring current Rams Scott Carson and Curtis Davies, as a late substitute, prevailed 2-0 courtesy of two goals in five minutes from Martin Laursen and Ashley Young.

Five years separated the previous meeting in the Premier League between the two sides as a Derby side featuring one Fabrizio Ravanelli travelled to Villa Park on the back of two straight victories at Pride Park in the previous year.

And the visiting Rams did find the back of the net on this occasion, through Darryl Powell, but this was sandwiched between a goal apiece from Villa’s strike partnership of Darius Vassell and Juan Pablo Angel.

You have to go back to the early 2000s for the last time since this current campaign that the two sides faced each other in consecutive seasons, and it was again Villa who ran out winners with a side featuring Gareth Southgate, David Ginola and a young Gareth Barry.

A brace from Julian Joachim either side of goals from Paul Merson and Alan Wright inflicted a heavy defeat upon the visitors, with Chris Riggott’s finish just after the hour mark merely a consolation.
